Just replace (Root Explorer) and restart, right? :)
[Android Apps and Games] makbil:
I installed the changepn version. Confirm that navigation is working.

Just uninstall the old version and install this.
[Android Apps and Games] kotaxor:
Hmm..replace the ownhere.apk using root explorer..not working.

[Android Apps and Games] salisbury_steak:
Thanks mate, I installed your 6.4 signed over my previous 6.3 signed. And it works! :D

This thread is Godsend. Just tagged it as 5 stars.
[Android Apps and Games] stian230:
Happy thread ;)
[Android Apps and Games] iznee:
Updated with signed version....Perfecto..using it with loquendo TTS engine on galaxy note is simply amazing
[Android Apps and Games] kotaxor:
Well...I removed the Maps from root and installed the changepn version..working fine now. Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] azrash:
uninstall all Google Maps via Titanium and install the signed version
[Android Apps and Games] ATN24:
updated with ownhere version
[Android Apps and Games] kotaxor:
I tried that early on..it said 'application not installed', could have been due to some residue since installing 6.3 thru CWM previously.

Anyway, the changepn version working fine here.

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] jpaq:
Hhhmmm... I am still having the same problem as I did with the previous 6.3.0 changepn version.

I have a Galaxy Nexus running stock ROM ICS (4.0.2), non-rooted. I installed the 6.4.0 ownhere changepn version. Installation was fine. Maps app opens up fine too. Then I do a search of a place, tap on it, tap on the directions icon and then tap on navigate. It will start to navigate, then wham! Maps force closes. It tells me "Unfortunately Maps has stopped".

Any ideas? Thanking everyone in advance.

I lost street view after upgrading with signed version. Had tried to wipe data n reinstall street view but in vain. Anyone has the same problem? Or is there other way to activate street view?

Solved: user problem :) sry for inconvenience caused. Signed version worked.
[Android Apps and Games] salisbury_steak:
Street View working fine here. Note that the streetview option is now at the bottom of the location info page. Not just below the picture anymore. (I tested streetview on the Tokyo Tower.)

[Android Apps and Games] NewForce:
Yes FC on my un-rooted Galaxy Note too.

However using the older 6.1.1 ownhere changepn version no FC problem.

Think both of you may try to use that old version to see if it work on your device.

Hi,

Is there any known method of getting the street names to show in a different language? I live in Israel and street names are shown in English instead of Hebrew...

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] :
Hate to downgrade but if thats the workaround for now too bad.

Hope someone with interim knowledge help.
[Android Apps and Games] ahabbass:
Same problem here with Nexus S stock ROM ICS (4.0.3) non-rooted.

Strange thing is, if I keep trying, after a few times, it works. :confused:

Correction:

Actually, I managed to get it to work 2 times (one after clearing cache memory and data).

I didn't have any problem with 6.3.0 changepn version. I had to downgrade to this version until someone fixes it.

Thanks for your work!

I have been using this by miloytyn and it works without issues for me (non-root mod for Maps 6.2.0)...

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=22055585&postcount=2046

Just hope that miloytyn will make another non-root mod for Maps 6.4.0 as well, as his previous version works on my phone without FC... @miloytyn: when you have the time, could you please make a non-root mod for Maps 6.4.0, please? :)
[Android Apps and Games] Hypnoo:
Me too. Please, miloytyn
[Android Apps and Games] gachana:
Thanks it works very well.
[Android Apps and Games] miloytyn:
Well I can make it next week, but I don't think it helps. I have only changed modified version to work non-rooted phones. What could help is that if szihs would make the modified version and I would update it to non-rooted. Szihs probably does something differently compared to ownhere, which makes maps to work in ICS.
[Android Apps and Games] NewForce:
I hate downgrade too. But if older version work, then no choice I or we have to sticked with it.

Let hope stian230, Brut.all and ownhere can find the trouble to that strange FC for current and future release. :)

Thank you my friend. I'll try out milotyn version tonight and hope it work for my Galaxy Note too. :)
[Android Apps and Games] jpaq:
Thank you very much for your kind reply and help, miloytyn.

@szihs If possible and when you have the time, please mod Maps 6.4.0 and share it with us. Then miloytyn can make a version for un-rooted phones like mine and others. Ownhere's 6.4.0 changpn for un-rooted phones seems to force close on my phone. I have a Galaxy Nexus running ICS 4.0.2 stock ROM and it is un-rooted. It would be highly appreciated, definitely! :D

Just to clarify, I am not taking anything away at all from the hard and great work of ownhere. It's just that the changepn version doesn't seem to work on my phone for some reason, that's all... :(

[Android Apps and Games] S_Kool:
hello everybody

i got bit of a problem, i'm not a developer but I would like to have google maps and navigation on my Desire...

thing is i dont know how to erase stock navigation and maps from my phone, i tried TitaniumBackup for uninstalling but it didn't work

i'm runnin ICS 0.4.3 from Sandvold, and i was wondering is it possible to use terminal emulator to remove stock maps and install 6.4.0 ownhere signed version, and if it's possible how can i do it

what are CLI instructions??

thx
[Android Apps and Games] angusc:
S.kool, all on the first psst how to install......?

Sent with Desire.
[Android Apps and Games] S_Kool:
i try instructions from #1 post but it didnt work with terminal emulator or titanium backup...i dont have skill to do it over Android SDK...

so i try install maps for unrooted devices (maps 6.4.0 changepn...but now i have doubled maps,doubled navigation,doubled places,doubled latidute and it keeps crashing

...i know you think i'm not reading and just trolling but i'm not i really need some more instructions
[Android Apps and Games] HerbertSo:
I have updated to the latest version (root version), why Market still list my Google Maps as requiring updates?
[Android Apps and Games] Paparasee:
Since you have a rooted phone and since you have successfully flashed a ROM, I'm assuming you know a lil bit about computers and zip files. Now, based on that assumption, I'd suggest ...

a) download maps6.4.0-ownhere-signed.apk from the 1st page (signed version).

b) Extract the contents of your rom to a folder ... let's say the folder name is "Sandvold"

c) goto \Sandvold\system\apps

d) delete maps.apk (or anything that looks like it)

e) copy the file you downloaded in step (a) above to this folder ... \Sandvold\system\apps

f) Get inside the folder \Sandvold and select all

g) Right click and zip all highlighted files to a file (name of your choice)

h) copy the newly created rom file to your SD card and FLASH!
[Android Apps and Games] angusc:
No i don't think that..... Try titanium again to uninstall the original maps. If can not work then use root explorer to manually delete the maps file from your system. I recommend you complete a NANDROID backup first. Then try installing the ownwhere signed.apk

It usually works for me. Good luck. :D

Sent with Desire.
[Android Apps and Games] S_Kool:
if only I could have that developer logic...that work just fine, thx

I was little bit suspicious with that method because there wasn't gmaps.apk or google.maps.apk

I guess sandvold include the whole gapps package, but it workt like you said

if that first method i try didn't work I would try yours but thx anyway
[Android Apps and Games] aben2amu:
Would it be possible to have the xml script for flashing maps 6.4.0?

Thanks.

Edit: I edited the last xml and it worked.
[Android Apps and Games] tinezi:
Still no turn arrows..

I upgraded to 6.4.0 and I still don't have these big turn arrows on top of the screen. Just long text and distance to next turn.

Tried unistalling and clear data. Even reinstalled my rom without luck. Anyone else had this problem and figured it out?

Try English as your phone's language and you will see the arrows.

Is this the answer to non root crashing problem?
[Android Apps and Games] mguel:
Although I have a rooted phone I prefer installing ownhere besides official/system app.

I had 6.2.0 ownhere (with the "o" icon), and wanted to update to 6.4.0. Installing 6.4.0 "on top" gave a signature error, so uninstalled 6.2.0 ownhere, and then installed 6.4.0 with no problem.

(in case it helps someone)

[Android Apps and Games] :
I recommend you use 6.20 for non root version. Versions above that has known crashing issues. See previous posts.
[Android Apps and Games] miloytyn:
Ok here is szihs version ported to non_rooted phone. The application seems to have been changed a bit since the previous version. I didn't test it much, but it seems to work correctly. If you have ownhere's version installed you need to uninstall it first.
[Android Apps and Games] fktiwana:
thank you so much.
[Android Apps and Games] zard:
Thanks. Tested and no FCs.
[Android Apps and Games] dhruvpandit:
can you tell me how to do this??

sorry, i am very new to android :(
[Android Apps and Games] shadowchaos:
This is frustrating

Maps seems to have this rule.

The places where you use gps to locate will be blurred around this square at pre-cached maps.

For example,I pre-cached 10 cities.One is where I live ,one is the place I travel a lot.

Both I use gps to show me ways on maps.

It's ok when you just cache the maps.But after some time,maybe one day or several,you open the maps,the last place you locate that shows to you is blurred.

But if you check the cached size,it's the same as you cached before.

And yes,if you force close the maps then open it again,it becomes normal.

But if you exit the maps then open it right away,it blurs again.

It's totally ok with other places you never use gps to locate,like other 8 cities,the places you didn't go to.

It's just the places you ever located with gps got blurred.

It's just like Google reminds you "update the maps ,the places you travelled a lot maybe changed",lol

It happens both on original one and the mod one,

so it's the google maps problem.

I got this problem on version 5.11.0 ,6.3.0 and 6.4.0.

I have data plan,but if you use mobile network to cache this blurred place,

more serious problem occurs.

The blurred places is right cached,but around this place gets blurred.

Yeah,you have to move the maps more ,and yes, the places nearby

places will get blurred like chain-reacting.

It's the same whatever you choose in the setting "automatic caching".

@shadowchaos Actually I don't have this problem with 5.11 or 5.10. At least problem occurs less often.

Now I'm testing 6.4.0 for few days at it seams that problem is still here but less often then in 6.3.0.
[Android Apps and Games] Nightshadow931:
I keep getting "Application not installed".

I tried everything.

My phone is rooted, I uninstalled maps from /system/app first, then I downloaded maps from 1st post(Maps6.4.0 ownhere.apk), renamed it to Maps.apk and put it into /system/app.

Then I opened app drawer, and maps are not installed.

I rebooted my phone, maps still not installed.I tried with adb, same thing.

What should I do ?
[Android Apps and Games] Zeljko1234:
Search forum, maybe you should clean xml file...

Every time, I've just overwrite Maps.apk with new one. Without uninstall, just clear data in Management Application.
[Android Apps and Games] aben2amu:

Hello,

I just installed the non-rooted one. At first I got the "login failed" error. Then I did what the OP said, press the triangle and grant permissions. Everyone once in awhile I still see the "Login failed" error on the screen. But no triangles. Is this potentially an issue?

Also can I actually sign in ? To keep my places and things like that saved?

make sure your gps is on

your data connection is enable or use wifi connection
[Android Apps and Games] ellimistx99:
Thanks for the reply.

Tried that. It's very very hit and miss for some reason. Also, does this mean that without an active Data connection (3G) I wont be able to use Google Nav?
[Android Apps and Games] mguel:
Did I messed some setting (not much settings to mess though), but on 6.4.0, Navigation is more 2D that 3D look if you know what I mean...

thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] ellimistx99:
If you're talking about the 3D buildings not popping up, that could be because that data is not there for your country.

If you mean the skewed isometric view, once you start driving it should change to that view.
[Android Apps and Games] mguel:
yep I was talking abuot the skewed view (not the buildings). it stayed “2D” or a top view (vs the usual angled/skewed view with perspective). Didn't notice it before so maybe was a today issue... bad gps signal or something else.

Thanks for answering and letting me know that that view is expected (if not I would have restored a previus titanium backup)
[Android Apps and Games] fktiwana:
may be some one using without active data connection but mine work with active connection in my opinion google uses online maps so need for . . ..

Today I tried it again, and it didn't switched to the skewed view, and stayed from a "top view" only (image attached, it was captured several minutes after using navigation)
[Android Apps and Games] ellimistx99:
Thanks for the reply. It seems like this app requires root to do the changes. I don't have root yet.

Also, it's not finding a GPS that's the issue. It seems after I get a gps lock,and I'm searching for the route, that's were it just gets stuck. I'm testing it with the Wi-Fi and a gps lock.

I had apparently the same issue if I understood correctly. I got GPS fix, and it found literal driving instruction, but the process of starting live navigation took several minutes. The trick i mentioned earlier too care of that issue for me.

You can also Modify the gps.conf file found from /etc/gps.conf, and copy all the necessary data there too, but I didn´t succeed doing that. Only after FASTERGPS i got faster gps fix.

Compass is not working in stock Google maps 6.3(and I've tried 6.4 too), now your position is a dot but it must to be a arrow showing the direction on going. This function no need to turn on GPS, and even with GPS, the position switch between dot and arrow unstably, it's weird.
